Werewolves. Her boyfriend and ex-best friend were werewolves and not only that Lydia and Stiles knew as well. Quinn looked to the ground completely overwhelmed with the news, she was angry-she felt stupid.

Isaac was probably the reason she felt hurt the most. He promised to never lie and hide secrets. It might have been silly, but it was something she couldn't just forgive.

After hearing the truth, she didn't know who to even feel anger towards-her captors or her supposed friends and boyfriend.

Kali and Ennis finally saw emotion from the girl, and it gave them the cue to report to their leader. Once they did, Deucalion did not waste a breath, ordering them to bring her to their headquarters. Quinn did not put up a fight and went along willingly-but who can blame her-after hearing the truth, that had her in the dark for months-no almost a year.

Deucalion had found Quinn as someone very special, and not just because she has an importance to Scott as his girlfriend, but she was something he sensed as valuable. She was simply too pure for the cruel world, and he couldn't help but find himself wanting to give her the power to protect her from the harsh world. He was vicious and cruel-or known as the Demon, but he was still human.

Quinn was confused about why she was sat before the older man that had a gentle expression, but also a malice impression. She was scared but at the same time-she felt oddly safe. When he introduced himself, his voice was warm and welcoming which had her lower her guard.

"Quinn" He said slowly, his voice so soft and kind that had Quinn tighten her fist on her lap, all she did was nod in response making him chuckle," Such an innocent soul" it took her a moment to realize the man was blind, as she took a longer look at him.

"I-I apologize..." She stuttered only making him laugh even more

"My dear, I may be blind, but I am very observant with my other working senses" He pointed to his nose, then to his ears

"I might ask, child, how do you feel right now?"

"Scared and-

"Angry?" He finished making her gulp and response in a low 'yes'

"What if, I had a proposition, one that can simply be useful for you" She stared at him as his words burned into her mind

"Are you suggesting you turn me?"

"Yes, but only If you want it"

"But why?"

"Because this world is not as innocent as you think it is Quinn my dear, and you are just an eye in the storm that is about to be born"

"I will not be evil" She placed her hands on the table and he just smiled shaking his head.

"I can never make you evil" He leaned on his palm," Frankly, I think it's impossible to make you evil-but you can be manipulative"

"Why would I do it for you?"

He hummed tapping his fingers on the table," Because you are a very smart girl, Quinn, but also a very vulnerable person. It saddens me that your friends think keeping you away will keep you safe-No" He shook his head," I think you are an easy target-a weakness to them, but if you take the bite, you'll be able to keep your own"

"I don't need that power" Quinn quickly denied but Deucalion could hear her racing heartbeat and smell her hesitant chemosignals.

"Even if it meant keeping the ones you care about safe?"

Quinn closed her eyes lowering her head," The ones I care about lied to me"

"Everyone lies my dear, but despite that anger-you still care"

Quinn wanted to deny the idea, but at the same time, she couldn't help but crave the want of being strong-she wanted to selfishly prove that despite being kept in the dark, that she could be useful in any way.

"There is a price" Quinn turned her head back up," For this bite, isn't there?" Deucalion nodded as he kept his face her direction.

"I want to hear it before I make the decision"
